The Demon Michael Vick
August 18, 2007
Michael Vick is about to lose it all.
Here is a guy who was on the edge in the NFL.
He has been on the edge legally, once trying to stow away some personal dope onto a plane.
So to defend him as a Saint is wrong. But the Media has been out to hang him.
Why?
The savagery of his Dog Business? Maybe.
The Gambling part? Maybe.
His past legal and poor behavior? Closer
He’s Black? That too.
Put all of the above together and you have the reason for the Public Hanging by the Media.
Is it right? no.
But it is today American Journalism.
Put into context of all else wrong in the legal system and Animal Sports you are inclined to give him a break. But based on this guys behavior and his skin colr it makes for a good public lynching.
But like some black leaders are saying its because he is black is wrong. It is all of the reasons listed, and more. It is for this reason the blacks have got to know that they are a target for the mainstream. This guy is a perfect portrait of the characture of the “gansta bling bling ” black athlete. A druggie in trouble with the law.
It fits right into a good story. If you call that a good story.
But, instead of blaming the playa, blame the game. As they say.
